Does anyone which manifold gasket is the right for this carb and engine combo? I hate the stupid yellow accel coil anyway so its going.
Is there a way to test a coil?
Problem is only apparent at idle. Otherwise it has good throttle response and decent power throughout the rpm range.
Thanks for the great input. I have never used a vacuum gauge but Ive heard that tuning with a tach isn't too far off. The fuel pump is stock so...
I have a 65 Buick wildcat with a nailhead 401 and TH400. The carb ran like crap when I got the car so I did a weekend rebuild in my garage that...

I've got a 31 Commander fordor that I've been looking for inspiration. Found it! I wish that there was more info about it though.
I thought I'd put this out there and find out what my fellow hambers thought. 1965 Pontiac Tempest four door with original V8 and auto....
Thanks for all the input. I've decided that if i'm going to put this much work into it I may as well go glossy and put real paint on it. However,...
I've done a search and have put together a plan for my project. I'm posting it here to get it approved by people who know more than me (and...
The edelbrock I've got is a side inlet.
I'm a bodyman and have sanders. At the shop I use an Ingersoll-Rand and a Matco. At home I use a Kobalt from Lowes. I think the Kobalt can hold...

I'm rodding a 31 Stude Commander. As long as you're resourceful and imaginative it is very do-able.

Actually it takes a serious lack of balls to screw with another guy's car.
I looked through this entire thread and found only half a dozen posts that were on topic. So much for actually trying to be helpful to fellow...
As a fellow Stude owner my instinct is to sell it. It's too complete and unmolested to rod. Some guy in the Studebaker Driver's Club would love to...
